  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Pasta:

  4. Pour the prepared Alfredo sauce into the skillet with the cooked mushrooms. Stir well to combine and heat through gently.
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the mushroom Alfredo sauce. Toss until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce and heated through.
